Notes:
Please label all sweaters, sweatshirts, coats, snowpants, boots, hats, and mittens/gloves. The lost and found is growing very quickly. If we can find the student's name on an item it makes it very easy for us to return it to the student's hook or classroom. Thank you!

*Please have your child read and re-read the pre-decodable and the decodable books that are sent home. Depending upon your child's reading abilities these books will range from very easy to challenging. However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.
MATH
This week we are working on pairing sets with numbers and ordering/comparing objects by size. We will be using vocabulary such as 'bigger than', 'taller than', 'smaller than', and 'shorter than' to discuss the objects we are comparing.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays students will be in math work stations. Our math work stations are planned to reinforce our daily objectives, build a strong foundation in number sense, and discover number relationships.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
